    Client Telephone Approach

    Probably you are right about small ones and tight budget. I think there should be some of them that think about it on long-term - cheap solution, staff with language difficulties, unexperienced, etc - more likely to have incidents, and we are talking about elderly people. I was thinking about...

    Client Telephone Approach

    Some of them they want cheap solutions without thinking about repercussions. I am not aiming for big care homes, more like small to medium care homes. Thats why I am doing some research and I am looking to build my knowledge regarding approaching them.

    Client Telephone Approach

    I am not dreaming of becoming a big company or with big clients like you have said. The company that I have worked for was actually my brothers and we were collaborating, he was the image and the voice of the company and I was the man behind the curtains, finding recruits, advertising, etc. Due...

    Thank you for your time but I asked for some help or ideas about how can I approach or improve this thing. I don't want to analyse if I was recruting or sourcing for another company, etc.I have said something what that effect, not necessarily exactly those words and I have done that without any...

    Client Telephone Approach

    1. Then it was my mistake thinking that sourcing candidates for another comany, preparing their documents and arranging their training to go to work for this client is recruitment. 2. 3/4 employees that the client had from the agency were sourced by me. And 3. He was really happy with them. I...

    Why do think I lied him? Not telling him that I know from 2 employees/ future former employees, does not mean I lied to him.

    Client Telephone Approach

    Maybe you are right. I was working in this field not aproaching clients but recruting people. Esspecially foreigners and I was dealing with their documents, trainings and transport. I know it may be very difficult but I said to myself I will give it a try.

    Client Telephone Approach

    I did not had the chance to say about staffing problems. I said something with the effect of " I know you and your business because I was recruting for another agency you used to work with and due to a good relation that we had with you I want to keep you as a client". After that I said that my...

    Client Telephone Approach

    Most of them have problems but they have bigger problems lately as 4 out of 8 permanent members of staff decided to leave. Anyway, thank you for you advice, but I have made the call before reading it and I went for the fact that we have been collaborating when I was working for a different...

    Hello to everybody! As I have been working in this sector for a while (care recruitment agencies) and I was fed up with illegal things done by some of them, I have decided to give it a try. I am asking for an advice regarding the approach, the situation is this: I know a Care Home that has big...

    Self employment and false self employment

    I posted that regarding employment status because myself and others were not sure if a carer is employed or self-employed. That's why I posted here, to find different opinions a point in either direction.

    Self employment and false self employment

    This is what I have found related to my question. Chapter 7 - Part 2 Itepa 2003 This makes me understand that a carer's situation should be treated as employed not self-employed. (1)This section applies if— (a)an individual (“the worker”) personally provides, or is under an obligation...
